Before replacing the value for the wildcards it is important for someone to know the qualifying hands for winning in the order of ranking from highest to lowest for each poker variant. Only when one knows this listing they can make a good decision when it comes to replacing the wildcards with a particular value.
 
The kind of influence that wildcards can cause in poker odds is very much inevitable.
